The transgender son of soul legend Sade has married his long-term girlfriend in a beautiful beach ceremony in Hawaii.
British model and artist Izaak Theo Adu-Watts, 24, wed Californian girlfriend Emily Margaret Shakeshaft on the sand in Hawaii on April 16th, the couple revealed on Instagram.
The newlyweds first met when hair stylist Shakeshaft, who identifies as a straight woman, contacted Izaak, who came out as transgender in 2016, two years ago on social media after he discussed the difficulties of transitioning from female to male.
The stunning April beach ceremony saw the couple wearing traditional Hawaiian floral garlands. Emily wore a vintage long-sleeved satin halterneck dress in white that ended just above the knee, matching the look with a strappy white gladiator sandal.

‘I am excited to watch you grow and love you more and more each day.
‘Thank you for choosing to walk through this life by my side. Margie Marge, You are my moonlight in the dark, I love you with all of my heart.’
Discussing the difficulties of transitioning to be a transgender male, Izaak had written on Instagram in 2019 that the process was ‘trying, tiring, painful, emotionally exhausting, physically exhausting, uncomfortable (like I can’t sleep like a normal human being rn lol).’
The couple told the New York Times this week that their love had been born out of her wishing him well with his transition in an Instagram message.
